In many aging buildings, existing windows are leaky, single-glazed sash with conductive framing systems. They can be difficult—or even dangerous—to operate, promote unhealthy condensation, mold or mildew formation, and force occupants to keep their distance from exterior walls due to glare, drafts and noise.

When existing windows are weather-tight, and ventilation unnecessary, Wausau S.E.A.L.TM interior accessory windows can improve Sound, Energy, Air and Light control - economically, and with a minimum of occupant disruption.

Perhaps no action demonstrates social responsibility and environmental stewardship more profoundly than respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork. Art and science come together in the design of historically influenced windows - with today’s energy efficiency and ease of operation. When coupled with HVAC and lighting upgrades, new windows can significantly reduce mechanical system capacity and cost.
